Perhaps if it was an ad for 501’s (studly manpants), I would feel it was more sexist…but really, Dockers are the epitome of asexuality…the Pat (SNL, remember Pat?) of pants. I just think this whole ad campaign fails on all levels…and I have to laugh. Imagine if it was a Birkenstock ad aimed at women with the same sub-text, step-up, be a leader, take charge of whatever women are in charge of this week according to the 21st century Mad Men. It is just funny…a white knight in … Dockers? I kinda have to go with Mary Elizabeth Williams and the fat ass assessment.

All I can say for sure is that I am probably every bit as offended as you are by this ridiculous ad. Be it women or be it men, we all deserve better than this. No more Dockers for me.
